Exeter Girls Can
Exeter Girls Can
Sport England's research shows that 2.4 million fewer women than men strongly agree they enjoy getting active – this is what they call the ‘Enjoyment Gap’. The enjoyment gap matters because enjoyment is one of the primary drivers of activity; but it is not inevitable, we can and must close it. The This Girl Can Campaign will focus on four key action areas that, if addressed, will help more women feel that getting active is a more satisfying, enjoyable experience. Together, Sport England want to make the sports and activity options available to women more social, suitable, self-affirming and safe.
At the University of Exeter, alongside clubs and societies, we will be offering free and affordable activities throughout the campaign to help increase female physical activity. Please see the list of great opportunities you can get involved with over the next few months:
